Agatha Christie novels are my favourites. Always try to guess who the murderer is but I am never a 100 percent right. What a surprise Xmas present for my mam.

It would be amazing to have them!
I really like Agatha Christie, though I've never read her in English. Translations in Romanian are good and those in German even better. I would love to read them in English too :)

I never wanted to win anything more in my life than these book. I love Agatha, I have about 15 of her book. They are the only ones that can absolutely take up my attention from beginning to end, and always keep you guessing and using your "little grey cells". I'll keep my fingers crossed and just hope that I'll finally win a competition for the first time.

Oh this is exciting! I lost ALL my books (along with everything else) in the Alberta floods this past summer. This prize would be an excellent start in rebuilding my Christie mysteries.

To answer this question I went to my bookshelf where I have every single Christie crime novel, some of them first editions, shelved in publication order! If I was fortunate enough to win this beautiful collection I would donate it to raise money for charity :)
